Two San Antonio veterans of the Vietnam War will receive the Medal of Honor next month in a White House ceremony. Jose Rodela and Santiago Erevia are among two-dozen war veterans to be awarded the medal, the nation's highest award for valor, and just three who are still living. They'll receive the medal from President Obama on March 18.
